TLDR
In this paper, the authors define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures can be developed, and define a methodology for developing one of the popular architectures of an FDBS.Abstract:
A federated database system (FDBS) is a collection of cooperating database systems that are autonomous and possibly heterogeneous. In this paper, we define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures can be developed. We then define a methodology for developing one of the popular architectures of an FDBS. Finally, we discuss critical issues related to developing and operating an FDBS.read more

An approach to systems engineering tool data representation and exchange
TL;DR: The results obtained from the validation activities indicate that systems engineering tool data exchange may decrease the time spent for exchanging specifications between partners developing complex systems and that the information model approach described in the thesis is a compelling alternative to tool specific interfaces.
Dissertation
Composition of Object-Oriented Software Design Models
TL;DR: This thesis identifies a number of key, well-defined problems with current object-oriented design methods and proposes new techniques to solve them, based on flexible decomposition and composition, which closely aligns designs with both requirements specifications and with code.

XML-extended OLAP querying
TL;DR: This work presents a theoretically well-founded approach to the logical federation of OLAP and XML data sources and enables the use of external XML data for selection and grouping in OLAP query results and shows that the approach is an attractive alternative to physical integration.

The entity-relationship model: toward a unified view of data
TL;DR: A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed that incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world and can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: the network model, the relational model, and the entity set model.

A comparative analysis of methodologies for database schema integration
TL;DR: The aim of the paper is to provide first a unifying framework for the problem of schema integration, then a comparative review of the work done thus far in this area, providing a basis for identifying strengths and weaknesses of individual methodologies, as well as general guidelines for future improvements and extensions.
